Chocolate Bread & Butter Pudding

Warm, soft and dotted with dark chocolate, this Chocolate Bread & Butter Pudding turns buttered bread and a simple custard into a comforting baked treat. Children practise spreading butter smoothly and evenly over each slice with a table knife before layering it up and soaking it in custard. It's a delicious lesson in minimising waste, too – a classic way to give slightly stale bread a second life rather than throwing it away.

Preheat the oven & prep the bread

Make the custard

  • Crack the eggs into a small bowl and whisk with a fork.
  • Pour the beaten eggs into the milk in a jug then add the caster sugar and mix well with the fork.

Add the custard & bake

  • Put the foil dishes on a tray and carefully pour the custard mix evenly over the two containers of buttered bread.
  • Use the back of a fork to gently press the bread into the custard.
  • Put the puddings into the oven and cook for about 15-20 mins, or until the custard is set and the top is brown and crusty.
